Chapter 2181: Scared

??

She had seen Xia Jinyuan before the new year, but he wasn’t wearing his military uniform. He was tall and big, and he did have a formidable aura. However, because she was standing in the dim courtyard at the time, she couldn’t see him clearly. Now that she saw him again, she felt like he was a different person.

“Mom, is he really Xia Jinyuan? He’s Aunt Xiao’s son? Could he be the commander-in-chief’s other son?” Du Jiayi still couldn’t believe it. She frowned and sized up the man carefully. She shook her head in disbelief. “He doesn’t look anything like before. I’ve seen him a few times before this. He was like a ruffian and was very cynical. His temperament back then was nothing like this temperament now.”

The man was as sharp as a cold sword and as majestic as a pine tree. Just by looking at his back, one could not tell it was Xia Jinyuan.

In her memory, Xia Jinyuan was a typical playboy. He knew everything about fighting. Later on, she didn’t know what happened that made him suddenly disappear. At that time, he seemed to be in the ninth grade.

The last she heard, Aunt Xiao had called from abroad to tell Madam Li that her son had been admitted to the National Science University.

Her mother had congratulated her then. After hanging up the phone, she even asked Old Du how could a good-for-nothing who fought non-stop get into a military school.

Old Du had casually replied, “He got in just like how the others got in.”

No matter what, he was still a prodigal who relied on his family to survive.

Last year, Aunt Xiao asked her father to ask about Xia Jinyuan’s whereabouts. She wanted to see where he was assigned after graduating.

...

Her father checked and told her that Xia Jinyuan had gone to a military station in the border area. He asked Du Jiayi, who happened to be there, to relay a message to see if he could write a letter to Aunt Xiao.

Hence, Du Jiayi asked around a few military stations, but there was no news of Xia Jinyuan.

If there was no news of a military cadet in the officer system, it meant that he did not manage to get a position after four years in military school. Perhaps he made some mistake, so his name was no longer in the system.

Her big brother had also questioned what kind of bright future a good-for-nothing could have. If not for Commander Xia, he might have been chased out of the army long ago.

Du Jiayi thought so too.

However, her father actually said that this man in front of her was Xia Jinyuan. How was that possible?

“What nonsense are you talking about? Your Aunt Xiao only has one child, and Old Xia only has one son.” Madam Li’s eyes were filled with gloom. Unexpectedly, Xia Jinyuan, who was in his military uniform, no longer looked like a ruffian. She thought that Xiao Shuman did not have the blessing of having good children like her, but now… it seemed she had overestimated herself!

After getting confirmation again, Du Jiayi had no choice but to believe it.

“They say that when a woman grows up, she changes. It’s actually the same for a man,” she added wistfully. Her gaze fell again on the back of the man walking up the steps in front of her. “It must have been years since he graduated from military school. He’s still a major. I guess that means…”

Before she could finish lamenting, the back of the person she was staring at suddenly turned around. A gaze that was sharper than a sword light came straight at her. Du Jiayi felt as if something had hit her between her eyebrows and her chest. All the blood in her body froze in fear, and she could not say anything.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Jian saw Xia Jinyuan suddenly turn around and asked him. At the same time, she turned around and looked behind her. She didn’t see anything.
